Larger sensor = Better DR, Better SNR, Better High ISO sensitivity, Higher resolution.

Rumors of Nikon and Canon MF cameras

Until the range of lenses rivals those of the currenty EOS system, i doubt many of us will change.

Nice to se they are making progress but that rear LCD sucks !

Looks like next to no controls so everything is going to have to be menu based.

A medium format equivalent for digital, now that would be nice to see.

A digital medium format camera? Like a Hasselblad or Mamiya with a digital back?

I didn't realise such things existed. Excellent stuff. From the brief look I've had they are not really within consumer reach though.

Not unless you win the lottery, no. Spec wise they arn't really targeted at the consumer market either. They are designed mainly for things like fashion, food and advertising photography where massive res files are needed. I can already hear the hardrive manufacturers rubbing their hands at the thought of 50 megapixel RAW files.
